A man of subtile reasoning
asked a plowman if he knew
where was the internal evidence
that proved the Bible true.
The rules of disputative art
had never reached his ear.
He laid his hand upon his heart
and quickly answered, Here!
Internal Evidence
The Light of Life
Your words were found and I ate them, and they became
to me the joy and the rejoicing of my heart.
– Jeremiah 15:16
God’s word is not a textbook to be mastered, but a revelation from the God who masters our hearts. It is not a light to barely warm us, but a blazing fire to consume us. It is not a hammer we throw at others, but dynamite exploding self-righteous coldness. It is not a daily devotional to snack on, but our necessary food, without which we die.
– David Cassidy
He Walks Among the Trees
A loving Personality dominates the Bible, walking among the trees of the garden and breathing fragrance over every scene. Always a living Person is present, speaking, pleading, loving, working, and manifesting himself whenever and wherever his people have the receptivity necessary to receive the manifestation.
–A. W. Tozer,
The Pursuit of God
A Sure Rock
Resting on the Word . . .
we are on a sure rock,
against which all
the waves of error
dash themselves
only to be scattered
as mist and foam.
